Nike has withdrawn a range of shoes called Air Stab following a spate of knife murders across the U.K.The company pulled the range from its Nike Town store in central London, the one shop which sold the shoe, in the last couple of days "given the current climate."
The running shoe, whose name is derived from "stability," was first released in 1988, a Nike spokesman said.
The current limited edition "retro" range was launched two years ago. One style of the current range carried the logo Runnin' 'n' Gunnin' on the inner lining and heel.
Nike said the Air Stab "may be an unfortunate coincidence timing-wise" but rejected any suggestion that the company condoned the use of knives.
